Barrel pond gone stagnant
I recently purchased half an old barrel to create a pond. The barrel is
about 90cm in diameter. I originally stocked it with a few plants, some oxygenating plants and added a small fountain. However, within a few weeks the water started to smell. I also noticed a number of small grubs in the water - some of which have grown to the size of maggots. The water also has the oily surface that you get on stagnant water. I have drained the barrel and started all over again! Does anyone know what I might have done wrong and how to avoid this next time round? Also, are the plants OK to use again? Their soil seems to contain a lot of the white grubs. Thanks. Colin E. |
